Vehicle Decontamination for Emergency Medical Services

After a sick patient is transferred out of your emergency vehicle, how do you ensure that the space is clean and ready for the next patient? Bioquell offers a proven solution to bio-decontaminate the surfaces inside your EMS vehicles.


About Our Emergency Vehicle Bio-decontamination Solution

To bio-decontaminate the interior of an ambulance, this specialized Ecolab solution relies on a few important pieces of Bioquell technology:

Bioquell Image

This portable, lightweight, wireless system vaporizes the Bioquell HPV-AQ. This vapour covers exposed surfaces in the rear of the vehicle, to achieve a 6-log sporicidal kill. As a sterilant, it destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life in the inanimate environment, including all forms of vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, fungal spores, and viruses.

  • Depending on the size of your vehicle, a bio-decontamination cycle can be as fast as 45 minutes, start to finish
  • Proven compatibility with sensitive electronics. Compatibility documentation available upon request.
  • Doesn’t leave any residue or harsh odors behind.

a 35% aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and EPA-registered sterilant.

Find Bioquell biological indicators (BI), chemical indicators (CI) and 35% hydrogen peroxide.

Room Chemical Indicators (CIs) which help you confirm that a Bioquell cycle has achieved the expected vapour distribution and exposure performance. A chemical strip reacts to a Bioquell cycle and changes colour to correlate with the cycle’s expected efficacy. For use in rooms and enclosed areas 10m3 and larger.

The BQ-EMS is equipped with a low-level hydrogen peroxide sensor, to verify that no vapour is leaking from the vehicle during the emergency bio-decontamination process. This sensor also helps to ensure the vehicle is safe to enter after a cycle.
